I'm surprised nobody has taken one of these and mounted it on a drone with a remote-activated brushless motor.

Would it even work, with wind messing things up?

I would probably just go for the thoroughly tested Stuka dive siren. You could still use your air raid siren too - just play it immediately before you send your Stuka-drones barreling towards random strangers.

I doubt a drone could dive fast enough to get the horn to work.

You can reverse rotation on the rotors on some drones. Going full power straight down gets your speed up pretty quick.

Anyone remember back in the 90's when books of URLs were a thing? I feel like the YouTube book is just in that grand tradition that has fallen by the wayside.

We had the Internet Yellow Pages at one point. In those books' defense, search engines were absolute garbage at the time.

Yea you had to follow webrings around to find similar content, and eventually you'd come to somebody's totally unhinged rantings.

Oh my god, I haven't even thought about webrings in probably a decade.

I remember the very first one I went through, I think it was for Command & Conquer, and after half a dozen sites I ended up on a white supremacist/UFO conspiracy site.

It was my very first experience with internet crazy - you never forget your first.

After being goatseed and linked to rotten.com, I actively avoided suspicious sounding URLs, including "somethingawful.com" for several years. Eventually I found out somethingawful was actually a pretty well-published online monster truck newsletter
